You weren't coming up with your own hypothetical scenario to counter mine, you just meaninglessly compared my hypothetical scenario to a fictional character. Given that I was quite up front about the scenario not being a real world example, it came across as very dismissive at the very least.Sure thing. I've largely been avoiding real world examples in lieu of historic or fictional ones because I don't want to violate ENWorld's policies, but I've come up with several examples that should be safe.Cheating on your spouse. Immoral but perfectly legal.Lying is another example. Immoral but commonly legal.Parking on the side of a street longer than the posted limited. Not immoral but certainly illegal.Driving through a red light after having made absolutely certain that you cannot possibly harm anyone by doing so (a long red light on a deserted road at 3 am). Not immoral but quite illegal.These are not exceptions to the rule. I could go on and on and on. Morality does not define legality. While some things are both immoral and illegal, many things are legal but immoral, or not immoral and yet nonetheless illegal.</blockquote>
